Fang Ruotang felt a coolness on her lips and came back to her senses.
She wasn't resting just now, since she had just woken up; instead, she was mentally working with the little mirror to figure out how to read other people's thoughts.
With a few minor changes to the original design, from revealing inner thoughts to eavesdropping, Fang Ruotang had a misconception that it wouldn't be difficult.
"Huh, grapes?"
Fang Ruotang opened her mouth and took a bite, her mouth watering. She looked at the grape trellis; the others were smaller and clearly different from the bunch Rong Xing was holding.
"If that's not enough, I'll pick some more for you."
Following Fang Ruotang's gaze, Rong Xing, who had been squatting beside the recliner, was about to get up when Fang Ruotang gently brushed him aside and used her spiritual power to lightly press down on him.
"No need, just peel the grapes for me here!"
As she spoke, Fang Ruotang pouted, and Rong Xing immediately spread his hands, caught the grape skins that she spat out, and put them aside.
"Wash your hands before peeling." Fang Ruotang had a lot of facial expressions; she felt unclean because the skin she had spat out was covered in saliva.
Rong Xing chuckled and agreed.
Always a clean freak, he didn't care about cleanliness and simply sat down next to Fang Ruotang's recliner, washing his hands before peeling grapes.
The two of them, one feeding the other, were eating together.
Every time Rong Xing's fingertips touched Fang Ruotang's lips, his expression would soften, as if he were enjoying it.
"Look at his effeminate mannerisms, they're disgusting!"
Huo Zhige's eyes blazed with fury; he wished he could take her place.
Cui Shixu laughed jokingly and said, "Then don't try to imitate him. Just make sure you're the one sitting in Rong Xing's seat next time."
Huo Zhige immediately fell silent, retorting with a blustering but weak voice: "Why should he? If he can do it, so can I. Just wait and see, the grapes I grow will definitely be sweeter than his."
"You want to compete in this too?"
Ye Wuxia clicked her tongue twice, it was deliberate.
Huo Zhige smirked and said with a light sneer, "You're such a drama queen. How dare you talk to me like that? Don't think we don't know you're two-faced."
"The disciples in the sect are afraid that we'll whisper in their ears, but that's really unfair to us. This shouldn't even be called 'the sect.' Only you would do something like this, always preferring to retreat in order to advance."
Ye Wuxia raised an eyebrow but did not refute.
In the past, it was his background that made him this way, and he had become accustomed to his way of doing things over the years. Besides, Xiao Liu had not said he disliked it or asked him to change, and he was used to it. Why would he go to such lengths instead of seeking something more convenient?
Let's play rock-paper-scissors!
Gu Yanjin spoke up helplessly, stopping the person who had gone completely off-topic.
This is the best way; it's fast and random.
"Sure! I'll come right away."
Huo Zhige was the first to agree, clenching his fist and raising it.
Everyone else cooperated, and the answer came out instantly without any argument.
There's no need to even tell Fang Ruotang, since she doesn't care about such things anyway. For her, the joy of opening blind boxes is quite appealing.
“Let me do it! You noble young masters are not good at this kind of taking care of people, only I am used to it.”
Ye Wuxia stepped forward, seemingly gentle, but forcefully taking away the grapes in front of Rong Xing.
Rong Xing paused slightly and glanced at Fang Ruotang.
From the beginning, her attention wasn't on this, and he couldn't hear her conversation with the little mirror, so he didn't know if one of them was talking or doing something.
It's not like she's watching a TV show or reading a storybook; the things she usually watches aren't this quiet.
"Okay! Thank you, Xiao Liu Xijie, remember to wash your hands."
Rong Xing didn't argue. After a slight pause, he stood up and gave up his seat.
Huo Zhige was surprised that this opportunity could be snatched away, but he was also angry that the one who took it was not him, so he could only rage helplessly at Rong Xing.
"No way, don't you have any backbone? You think you can just give in to someone just because they say so?"
"It's not good to make things difficult for Xiao Liu."
Huo Zhige stared at Rong Xing with his mouth slightly open, his emotions a complex mix.
He clicked his tongue and didn't say anything more.
He chose a spot close to Fang Ruotang, sat down on the ground, and began meditating.
Fang Ruotang was so focused on her own affairs in her sea of consciousness that she had no idea what was happening around her, not even that the person feeding her grapes had changed.
As night fell, the people who had been cultivating around her gradually awoke from their meditation. They exchanged glances, and Ye Wuxia was the first to ask.
"Has Xiao Liu still not woken up?"
"Don't you know? You took the spot next to her and even tried to feed her grapes. Shouldn't you know best?"
Gu Nancheng asked back with a look of jealousy.
Ye Wuxia was choked and speechless. After Fang Ruotang stopped eating the grapes, he was obviously busy and didn't even spare him a glance.
He stared at it for a while, and gradually began to cultivate as well.
"Xiao Liu might be cultivating. I'll carry him back to his room." Cui Shixu felt this was the most likely possibility, especially since he was the one who won first place this time.
No one else had any objections.
Fang Ruotang is not a focused person; she is easily distracted by other things. The fact that she can concentrate on one thing so intently must mean that it is important.
They didn't know, nor would they chase after the little mirror to ask why, and they kept waking Fang Ruotang up.
But just as Cui Shixu bent down to hug her, Fang Ruotang suddenly opened her eyes, her clear black and white eyes filled with joy, and she jumped up immediately.
"It's done!"
"What's done?"
Gu Nancheng inquired out of curiosity, and the others also looked at Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang suddenly tilted her head to the side and chuckled twice, her face full of mischievousness, but deliberately keeping them in suspense.
"It's a secret. I won't tell you for now. I'll tell you later."
